PGM 824 "VOICES IN THE NIGHT" : Week of Dec. 7th...

Each year in December, we gather to sing sacred hymns and songs. For over a millennium, the holiday season in Christian cultures has been associated with the sublime, ethereal high voices of female sopranos, male sopranos or countertenors, and boys choirs. In the massed voices, we hear an image of unity and peace; in the heavenly harmonies, we hear the sound of angels — magically brought to earth.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a holiday celebration of choral singing called VOICES IN THE NIGHT, with music by ZBIGNIEW PREISNER, PETER TOGNI, KARL JENKINS, and the English boys choir LIBERA.
